Watch: Pete HegSeth supports DEI removal from the US Department of Defense and the continuation of collective deportation

US President Donald Trump has signed many executive orders that focus on reshaping the US military.

One of the signed requests on Monday prohibits diversity, stock and integration initiatives (Dei) in the army. The use of sweat or sex preferences in the armed forces, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Security will remove.

Another restores more than 8,000 service members who have been discharged for their refusal to obtain a Covid-19 vaccine.

The White House added that the officials of the third executive requests by formulating a policy regarding the transgender forces. The procedure is not immediately prohibited from the transgender members.

The fourth matter clarifies the process of developing an “American iron dome” – similar One used by Israel in the Middle East; While the White House says an advertisement has been signed to celebrate the eighties of the editing of Auschwitz.

Executive orders were signed by Trump on one air force.

The removal of DEI programs from within the federal government was one of Trump’s central promises of campaigns – and moved quickly to implement it when he took office last week.

DEI programs aim to enhance participation in workplaces by people from a set of backgrounds.

Their supporters say they are eating historical representation and discrimination against some groups, including ethnic minorities, but critics say that such programs can be discriminatory.

The Trump administration claims that removing these initiatives from the US military will help enhance employment levels.

Defense officials previously said that the military services were collectively lost the targets of recruitment by 41,000 individuals in the fiscal year 2023.

US Defense Minister Beit Higseth promised to cancel similar initiatives from the army, and reported on Monday that “there are more upcoming executive orders.”

Remove de from the army

It includes a ban on what the administration considers discriminatory preferences for race or nationality by any branch of the army branch, the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Internal Security.

In addition, any remaining bureaucracy related to Dei from these departments will be eliminated.

It is still not clear what programs will be affected by arrangement.

In a report in December 2020, the Board of Directors related to diversity and integration recommended a number of steps, including removing “efficiency test barriers that negatively affect diversity” and integrate “the value of diversity and integration development” into professional leadership and efficiency curricula.

During the weekend, it was reported that the US Air Force was reviewing the materials about the role of black and female pilots during World War II of its training programs as part of an attempt to comply with Trump’s orders.

But on Sunday, military officials explained that some curricula from basic military training will not be removed.

During the campaign in June, Trump said the army’s purpose is to “win wars, not to wake up.”

Higseth told the correspondents on Monday that the army’s job is “killing, willingness and war fighting.”

“Military training will focus on the willingness of what our forces need in this field to deter our enemies,” he added.

This step is part of a more governmental effort to remove Dei’s practices from the federal workforce.

Immediately after taking office, Trump ordered that all US government employees working on Dei plans be placed on an immediate administrative leave.

The White House gave them until 17:00 US ES (2200 GMT) the next day to be placed on vacation before closing the offices and programs concerned.

In order, Trump said the programs are “dangerous, degrading and immoral.

On Monday, the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs also said it had placed nearly 60 employees on vacation because it is working to implement Trump’s order last week to eliminate Dei from federal workplaces.

In a statement, the administration said that the salary of employees – who were focusing only on Dei initiatives – were collectively paid about $ 8 million, at a rate of about 136,000 dollars (109,000 pounds) annually. One of the employees earned more than $ 220,000 a year.

Sexual forces

Trump has also signed an executive command to the army to formulate policies related to the inclusion of transgender forces and update any guidelines on this issue.

The White House fact -hall paper uses the term “transit definition” instead of transgender people.

It is not clear that the number of transgender employees served in the US military – although previous estimates of researchers have set the number between 9000 and 15,000.

As part of the arrangement, the use of pronouns will be banned through the Ministry of Defense, and males will be explicitly prevented from using female facilities.

In 2021, then President Joe Biden The matter signed an order that allows the people who are transgender to serve the army Preventing drainage on the basis of sex.

During most of Trump’s first state at the White House, transgender employees were prevented from joining or serving unless they received a concession.

The Trump administration has claimed that the members who underwent a transitional surgery are often unable to physical demands for their jobs – which may harm military readiness. The White House did not provide evidence of this claim and BBC continued to the Pentagon for comment.

Sparta, an organization calling on behalf of military personnel, criticized the matter, saying that the transgender forces had served in combat areas and showed their ability to “work in military units.

“While some of the transgender forces are undergoing surgery, the time of recovery and the cost is small, and it is scheduled to not affect publishing or preparing for the task,” said Soo Vulton, an old army warrior and chief advisor in Sparta.

“The preparation and material capabilities of the members of the transgender service are not different from other members of the service,” Vulton added.

In 2017, the Palmir Center – an independent research organization – estimated that the removal of about 10,000 transgender soldiers from the army could cost about $ 960 million.

Return the forces that rejected the vaccines

The third arrangement brings back the American military personnel who came out for refusing to accept Covid-19 vaccines during the epidemic.

These members of the service will be returned with complete wages and benefits, and they get their previous ranks.

In the opening letter, Trump said the service members “were not fairly expelled.”

About 8,000 American military personnel were demobilized from service because they rejected vaccines between 2021 and 2023 – of which only 43 were repeated before Trump returned to the White House.

A former Pentagon official – who spoke on condition of anonymity – told BBC that their refusal to take vaccines was a “good matter”.

The official called for the return of the forces “regarding” and said that he is afraid to create a precedent to be able to cancel the subscription to other vaccines, such as the introduction to members of the service for yellow or small fever.
